takoOP2 months agoHad a simple objective idea: Mine (50/100/200??) Unique Blocks
The premise is that you would be looking out for unique blocks in different biomes, mining the different stone variants, maybe crafting stairs and slabs to break as well to get a lead, but I am wondering if this would actually be interesting in game or if it would just be annoying/tedious.
What do you think?

Seems very open ended to me like what do you even do for this? It's similar to craft X but even more open ended.

If you focus on it to speed it up/get it out of the way it will also involve a lot of crafting too

Hard to strategise for, or care about when you could literally work on it anywhere

I don't hate it but should probably be more specific

100+ unique block mined would be insanely slow no? i like this goal, but i think 15/30/45 would be more appropriate

i think the only way to make this interesting is to change it to be natural blocks only (as in stuff not placed by the player) because otherwise its basically just craft x but even more time consuming because you have to mine everything. the amount of unique blocks you can obtain from crafting will always dwarf the amount that exist in the world so the only way to not make it a copy of craft x is to limit it to what is already in the world imo
at that point we can consider whether it would be a good goal (i like it this way in concept but i could see it getting annoying in practice and it also heavily rewards structures that already have a lot of goals tied to them like villages and trial chambers)

Imo trial chambers are the issue with this. This would be extremely tedious and slow normally, but a trial chamber gives about 100 blocks on its own. There just aren't that many blocks you can find naturally on the surface or in the nether.

The only other good way would be villages, which at least have a few extra blocks that don't generate elsewhere.

Only for higher numbers, at a lower amount I think it could still work.
Jade2 months ago
yeah at lower numbers it could be an interesting earlygame goal

something you could do with surface structures or a little caving for stone variants/ores

i like the fact that you would want to try to optimize it so that you arent wasting too much time mining useless junk but also getting it done fast

kind of similar to fill inventory, like ideally you want to have some of those be useful items later and not just exclusively random useless items that you immediately toss after, i think finding the ideal balance of speed and utility is good skill expression that could also apply for this goal

Mine 3/5/7/9 unique natural stones? That would probably include Stone, Deepslate, Granite, Diorite, Andesite, Calcite, Tuff, Sandstone, Red Sandstone, Dripstone Block, Blackstone, Basalt, Smooth Basalt, End Stone (14).

You could argue to include Cobblestone but then Mossy Cobble should count too, also Netherrack but I think of it more like Nether Dirt because of the Nylium Blocks that are like Nether grass blocks.

There's a goal suggested which is Obtain X polished blocks which is similar and I'd prefer but I guess they can both exists

Maybe not unique blocks but instead just mine x blocks. Gold tools in an rp could be cool and a faster nether entry to mine netherack. Then mine 100 blocks could have some strategy to it.
(Oh even shears for leaves. Might make the goal too simple. Idk)
